I live in what is called the DMV, the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. It is a geographic region that exists to suckle at the teat of the federal government. It is no small coincidence that the acronym is the same as the Department of Motor Vehicles given the service levels of many Federal agencies. But I digress.
Today was a great day. Today, federal employees were required to be in the office again. I went to the gym and it looked abandoned, easily half of the normal attendees. I actually was able to get on all the equipment I wanted. Stopping at Wawa, the store was empty. The line of cars trying to get to I-95 was miles long.
I worked at home for years. When the firm I worked for required me to come in, I didn’t have a local commute. I had to go to Secaucus, New Jersey, quite literally a place built on a slaughter pen and a swamp. Sometimes they sent me exotic places like India. I never liked it, but I recognized that the privilege of working at home meant I had to travel from time to time, and be in the office when asked. As such, my pity for the federal workers having to go back to the office for the first time since March of 2020 is incredibly low.
Also, today is the day that federal employees in most agencies were required to submit five bullet points for what they worked on last week. I worked in a place where I had to track my time to six minute increments to projects and tell the people that owned those charge codes what I did. We called them time sheets and while the sucked, they also made individuals accountable for their time. In other words, for normal people, putting together a list of five things they did last week would be a three minutes exercise, tops. Yet some feds are acting as if we were asking them to part the Red Sea or split the atom; all of which makes me suspicious.
